Today's Observations

Every once in a while, I notice things. I know it sounds like something that should be a given, but really, normally I don't notice too much. I am visually impaired, you know. In spite of that fact, I do notice things from time to time, and today, I noticed TWO things! Two observations about myself, that I can't say I am too happy with.

Both observations were observed while taking a shower this evening. The first one, an obvious, slap-me-in-the-face observation, was the fact that I am getting old. I know this because after I got done rinsing the hair color out of my hair, I had to wipe down the walls of the shower so they wouldn't stain. If I were not getting old, I would not have to do this. That's observation number one.

The second observation is that I am fat. Yep. I said it, so you wouldn't have to. I know this because I seemed to have the slightest bit of trouble reaching certain body parts to wash and rinse them, if you know what I mean. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "How can she talk about things like this? Ladies don't talk about body parts and what they can and can't reach." You can think these types of things about me all you want, but you heavier people(and I won't call you fat, as I have called myself)know exactly what I'm talking about. It happens more than people like to talk about. Trust me. Recent changes and situations in my life have caused me to gain a few pounds recently, and it's just come to my attention that reaching the nether regions of my body is a bit difficult. Not impossible, mind you. Just difficult. I need to get a handle on this before reaching them all together becomes a thing of the past.

So, there you have it. Today's observations as only I can bring them to you. It's not pretty, and it's not lady-like, but it's true, and you know it. You can empathize with me, I know you can.
